Section : Climate

The coldest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth was -89.2 °C (128.6 °F) at the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983. For comparison, this is 11 °C (20 °F) colder than subliming dry ice.

Section : Population

Antarctica has no permanent residents, but a number of governments maintain permanent manned research stations throughout the continent. The number of people conducting and supporting scientific research and other work on the continent and its nearby islands varies from about 1,000 in winter to about 5,000 in the summer.

To carry out exploration in the Antarctica winter region, this could become a impossible task for the Human Beings ?.

Cold Storage is also referred as "refrigerated storage".

What special care can be taken during exploration in Winter Region ?. viz Blankets, Sweaters, Thermos flask etc

Can we simulate the cold storage room to -89.2 °C (-128.6 °F) ?.
